Daniel’s Story

Daniel “Murph” Murphy has received the gift of life! After struggling with end stage renal disease due to high blood pressure for the past 4 ½ years, Murph had a kidney transplant three months ago. The new kidney is working well and Murph will be forever grateful to the donor’s family.

Murph now has a new obstacle which he cannot overcome alone. He became disabled and was unable to work for 4 ½ years prior to the transplant, due to dialysis. He will need financial help to pay for the anti-rejection medications he needs to take for the rest of his life to ensure that his body doesn’t fight off the new kidney. Funding the uninsured expenses is a challenge Murph cannot meet without your support! We need to raise money to help with the cost of his medications.

To help with this financial burden, a fundraising campaign in Murph’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive (formerly NTAF) a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for nearly 30 years. All donations are held by HelpHOPELive in the Southeast Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered for transplant related expenses only. If you can help in any way, please consider a donation to help Murph.We need all the help we can get! The fundraising committee has a series of events planned. If you are interested in contributing, or have some creative ideas, please call us.

In addition, Murph wants to urge everyone to consider becoming an organ donor. The need is great and lives can be saved!
